Self Cert Income - Proof of Housing Equity

[rjm_cmyk 75]

It's highly likely that my fiancée will not be in full time employment by the time of my interview in London. She's only just graduated so hopefully some time in the Autumn......

I will have a nice pile of house equity once the sales goes through and am expecting to use in lieu of the affadavit at K1 visa stage. Thing is depending on when the interview is I might not have the cash in the bank. London says that other evidence of house ownership and loans outstanding will be sufficient.

If anyone has done this - what specific documents did they use to keep the CO happy ?

That will be harder, I would go with cash/savings/investments.

I'm just going by what the embassy state here

i.e

Applicants Own Funds

An applicant who expects to be able to meet the public charge provisions of the law through personal financial resources may submit to the consular officer evidence of funds or income from one or more of the following sources:

• bank statement showing present balance of applicant's account, date account was opened, the number and amount of deposits and withdrawals during the past 12 months, and the average balance during the year. If there have been recent unusually large deposits, an explanation thereof should be given;
• proof of ownership of property or real estate, in the form of a title deed or the equivalent and a letter from a lawyer, or real estate agent showing its present valuation (any mortgages or loans against the property must be stated);
• letter or letters verifying ownership of stocks and bonds, with present market value or expected earnings indicated;
• statement from insurance company showing policies held and present case surrender value;
• proof of income from business investments or other sources.

But yes I'd prefer to have the cash in the bank at time of interview and may delay it if it looks iffy otherwise
